Attention Seniors: Are You Considering College?
Most four year colleges require incoming Freshmen to submit
either the ACT or SAT I exam score for consideration for
admission. This IS a requirement at all four year colleges
in the State of Washington. Many will accept either score,
however, check with each college for its admission
guidelines. These tests can be taken more than once, if a
student is not satisfied with his/her test score. A test fee
will be charged each time a test is taken.
Some
college and scholarship applications are due as early as
October of the student's senior year. A student can apply to
a college and send his/her test score at a later date. Test
scores can be sent directly to more than one college. If you
are interested in attending college, please see Mrs. Kassa
in the Counseling Office as soon as possible.

Attention Juniors
What is the PSAT?
Each October Lakeside High School offers the PSAT,
Preliminary Scholastic Achievement Test, to its students.
This test is given to juniors as a precursor to the SAT that
is required for college entrance. By taking the PSAT in
their junior year or earlier, students can gain valuable
feedback on improving academic skills needed for college.
Sometime in December, Lakeside High School's Career and
Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Jill Kassa, will meet with each
student who took the PSAT to review his/her "Score Report
Plus." A question by question review of the student's
answers will be given to see which answers were correct and
which were wrong. Attention can be paid to how the student
might have misinterpreted the questions, leading to wrong
answers. The original test booklet is available for
additional practice. Students will also receive a
personalized read out of academic skill areas that need
improvement. Suggestions on ways to improve those skills are
provided as well. This individualized attention given to our
students by Mrs. Kassa is part of Lakeside High School’s
commitment to its students to help them achieve their
highest potential. |
